Avis Launches Partnership with Air France and KLM's Flying Blue
Frequent Flyer Programme
On 6 June, Avis Europe launched a new partnership with Flying
Blue, the joint Frequent Flyer programme of Air France and KLM with
18,000 daily flights to 900 destinations and over 100 airline and
non-airline partners.
This new partnership will give over 10 million members of Flying
Blue, around the world, access to discounts and special benefits
from one of the leading car rental companies.
Flying Blue members can earn miles on every qualifying rental
worldwide, up to 10% off Avis international leisure rates as well
as complimentary upgrades. Travellers flying on Air France and KLM
operated services that aren't members of the programme can also
benefit from discounted car rentals.
Murray Hennessy, Avis Chief Executive said 'We're pleased to
be part of the Flying Blue partnership programme and are delighted
to offer the members of Flying Blue an excellent range of Avis
products and services".
As part of the launch programme, Avis has created a dedicated
partnership website, www.avis-flyingblue.com
where members can earn extra Flying Blue Miles and benefit from
special offers and find out more information on the
partnership.
To celebrate the launch of the partnership, customers renting
